Yogyakarta Kraton Royal Palace Kedhaton Admission Ticket

Explore the Kedhaton,
the heart of Yogyakarta's Sultan palace

The Kedhaton is the central section of the whole Kraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat (Yogyakarta Royal Palace) complex. This ticket lets you enter the Kedhaton area to see its royal architecture and exhibits. It is open Tuesday to Sunday from 8:30 AM to 3 PM and closed on Mondays (ticket redemption until 2:30 PM).

Bangsal Kencana, the most revered royal hall

The Bangsal Kencana at the center of the Kedhaton is the most revered hall, used for state meetings, receiving honored guests, and traditional dance and wayang orang performances. It is surrounded by buildings that support these functions.

A sand courtyard and sawo kecik trees

The Kedhaton's wide courtyard is covered with sea sand and shaded by sawo kecik trees. In Javanese tradition, the tree's name sounds like the phrase for "all things beautiful", making it a symbol of beauty. Unlike the other parts of the palace, laid out north to south, the Kedhaton is oriented east to west.

Pass through the north and south palace gates

The Kedhaton is entered through the Regol Danapratapa gate to the north and the Regol Kemagangan gate to the south. Exhibition spaces in the palace also display royal history and artifacts.
